Digital Logistics Approach to Energy Service Socio-economic Mechanisms

Abstract

The article discusses the activities of energy service companies, which is aimed at saving energy resources and improving energy efficiency. The article also discusses the sources of investment projects of energy service companies and what specific services are provided by energy service companies. Schemes of logistic chains have been built, the links of which are the customer, energy service company, bank / investor, resource provider, consumer / customer. We propose to improve the model of the logistics chain. The traditional logistics chain is a linear-ordered set of legal entities and individuals that perform logistics functions and operations to conduct material and information flows from the supplier to the consumer. That is, we understand that the links of a simple logistics chain follow each other, thus the links of the chain can contact and perform any actions only in such a sequence. Due to the approach of the traditional logistics chain, problems arise, since the information may reach in a distorted state, or it may not reach at all. We suggest logistics approach to energy service management based on the principles of digital approaches which could be developed from the famous research papers of A. Borovkov. This model is interesting because the analytical center acts as the core in this chain, which translates the information received for everyone. Conclusions are drawn on the relationship between energy conservation, quality and investment. Attention is paid to finding a new approach to energy service from the concept of digital core in logistics network.
